Doesn't work that way. But you knew that, I hope.

The MMEL sets forth the criteria, and the operator can use that or be more restrictive.

Or are you implying the item is MEL'd, and never fixed? If so, how is the airline getting around the time requirements?
I'll wait on your answer.

It's fun watching people making ridiculous claims on forums then they are unable to back them up when questioned and provided facts.
